Typically, proprietary trading firms based in The Netherlands are located in Amsterdam. Since UTR8 is not a typical firm, our European office is located in Utrecht. We decided that a location which is central for everybody, easily accessible, and surrounded by relaxed bars and restaurants, would suit our needs as a company much better. Over the years, this has turned out to be a perfect decision.

At UTR8 we value everyone’s contribution, irrespective of status or background. At the same time we want the best, which makes life at UTR8 relaxed, but focused.

UTR8 Asia Pacific – Hong Kong

Many proprietary trading firms in Asia are either located in Singapore or Hong Kong. UTR8 is in Hong Kong because of the quality of life this amazing city offers our staff. Our offices are located on Hong Kong Island right in the middle of the action and with a fantastic harbour view.

In our company you will find a team that loves working together to find the smartest ideas and solutions. Because in today’s fast-moving, technology-driven world, being smart separates us from the rest.
